My Conversations with ChatGPT
Machine Translation (MT) and translations generated by AI have brought about a paradigm shift in the translation industry. The output of MT will continue to improve, especially when associated with clients’ translation memories and human editing. Language Service Providers are adapting and are including MT in their processes, when MT is applicable. While linguists will continue to be essential in the process, their role will shift from that of translators to validators of content generated by MT. At Excel Translations, we wanted to know what AI thinks about all of this and decided to have an open conversation on the matter with ChatGPT. I will regularly publish a question and ChatGPT’s response, uncensored.
QUESTION 89:
What are some languages that LSP’s are not offering with machine translation options?
Chat GPT’s Response:
As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, it’s challenging to provide an exhaustive list of languages that are not offered by machine translation options from language service providers (LSPs). The availability of machine translation services can vary, and new languages may be added over time. However, some less widely spoken or regionally specific languages might have limited or no machine translation support.
If you are looking for specific information on certain languages, it’s recommended to check the documentation or websites of popular machine translation services such as Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, Amazon Translate, and others. These platforms often provide lists of supported languages and information on the quality of translation for each language pair.
Keep in mind that the landscape of machine translation is dynamic, and improvements are continually being made. Some languages may not have been supported in the past but could be added in future updates. Always refer to the latest information from the respective service providers for the most accurate and up-to-date details on language support.
